Thn letters written by <’. W. Gbapmari,
which havO occasioned such a sonsation
in thu community, will bn found on our
-tirsi page. Until wu come to tho con
cluding portion, which appear* to havo
been an addendum Iona guarded than thn
balance, there is perhaps nothing in them
bearing intrinsic evidence of a desirn to
communicate improper information to
the enemy. But for lettera intunded to
bo exchanged between two countries on-
gaged in a desperate war lor self-prusor-
vatiun, Vheir whole tone is very trifling,
very thoughtless and very heartless—this
upon the supposition that they Were in
tended for nothing inoro than a friendly
correspondence botwoen two old friends
or relative?. ItBeems remarkably strange
that the writer could have found nothing
more serious or important to communi
cate, or that lie diould have undertaken
the pains or expensoof running tho block
ade with letter ms liathy and unworthy
of the occasion an these. Their very triv
iality i.« concurrent ovidenco of something
sinister; and when wo connect, withthia
tho assumed signatures, the "mission of a
date, and the avoidance of thu names of
some of tho parties referred to—indica
tions of n desire to conceal the writer -
wu havo strong presumptive proof of
something wrong. If thn parts of the
letter* of which we are now spunking
were designed to hoof use to the enemy,
they were suggestive merely, not circum
stantial or explicit TIiL, too, may have
been the result of thu huiiio caution that
seems to have been displayed in tho ficti
tious signatures, See.
Rut it n tlm postscript or supplement to
tho lot ten h that exhibits muni plainly a
desire to communicate ‘‘aid and comfort”
to thu enemy. The weariness wit It tho
war on th.* part of our people and soldiers
is magnified , and for what purpoao?—
Thu conditions upon which alone, weary
ha they uu\ they would consent to ita ter
mination, arc nntHtatcd ; and why? Thn
ammiy urn asalirud that there is no ra-
cruitlng for the army hero; mid for what
purpose? Thn whole tenor of thin ap
pendix to the letters appear.* to be un
friendly to the South and encouraging to
iho North, and leaven tho impression that
I ho writer would have been more oul-
cpokoM if he had f*dt perfectly secure
against detection
it j.i aid that Chapman duo* not deny
the writing of the lotion, and makes a
flimsy excuse for thu use of an assumed
signature. They were entrusted to one
of our niilxeti.i who was about to run the
blockade, and an examination of them at
—- I cl to ih< ir detention and return to
this city. .
Wo do not find anything in the letter*
neceifarlly criminating the other citizens
of Columbus mentioned in them. Our
improMion from the loading is that those
• lllssons are known personally to tlioao to
whom the !otter* are addressed, and that
I hey ami their nflair* are m;mod a* mat-
lets of personal intereM. But they ap
pear to have projpci. d exceedingly dur
ing tho troubles of the South to havo
acquired monoy and eidatoa with much
facility during the war. A. this money
wn« made out of Hie Southern people,
their prosperity during the war ought to
huanlrong link to attach Ilium to out for
tunes, our interest , ami our soil. Wo
trust llut measure* will be adopted in
time, to prevent all Northern men of this
thrifty class from transferring to tho
North, at tho close ofthe war, wealth ac
quired from a people who toiled for it
through privation, »utiering and blood.
There appear.-* to bo nothim; in tho lot-
tar* that would have rendered their pub
lication by tho committee impolitic , nitd
wo think that the delay in giving them t».
the public, to satisfy the speculation, cor
rect the luUe reports, and allay the ex
citement, that were for several days prev
alent, was ill-udviaod and injudicious.

In this division our mortality and crs-
uulties have been heavier than ever in
any past engagement, yet the stern stuff
of which heroes are made evidenced itsnlf
throughout the terrible and sanguinary
engagement at Gettysburg. In fact, the
whole anny, to a single man, behaved
with the utmost gallantry and courage ;
each wa* nerved with the heart of a patriot
in punishing tbe enemy on their own soil.
Gen. L*!o's congratulstory address to his
troops U an admirable paper, and true in
letter and spirit- The General is worthy
of bis army, and the army is worthy of its
General.
Our withdrawal from I’ennsylvaniaand
Maryland was not caused by anything
• Ise thun a want of ammunition and army
supplies The country through which
the army passed had been previously
emptied of provisions, and almost all of
io stock ; and nothing but bountiful pas
tures of growing grain, orchards of green
fruit, and a few vcg< tables were to be
found. Had our invasion been prolonged
until tho grain crops had ripened and
were garnered and the fruit uitable for
food, wo would have had no difficulty in
staying “in the Union” as long as our in
terest* and pleasure demanded. The
whole army was withdrawn in good order
and without eonfus.on, and speaks well
for the masterly mind of General Lee.—
It wk* a m liter >f general regret that wc
should have boon *o soon recalled, hut a*
we had accomplished all we desired for
the time being, and to show the foe wh
could defeat thou* on their own soil, we
withdrew nearer to the base of our sup-
plies, after having run the rats out of their
hole, iii Washington City and Harris
burg, and put tbe whole Yankee nation in
arms at tear of our overrunning tho whole
delectable NorMi i We have at least
made the Yankee* experience tome of the
delights derived from tho presenco of the
invader on their own soil. Had we so
chosen, we could with torch and destruc
tion have laid an immense section of their
ino-t productive country in utter wa-.te.
With the single exception of destroying
the Caledonia Iron Works, of that ar li-
abolitionlst, Thaddeus Stevens, and the
destruction of some important portions of
railroad* and their bridges, and depots
along our lino of march, no other harm
of a Kerioua character wa* inflicted by our
tr.M.p», Had the liberty buen granted—
i.ikI a. uoinn ussum® we should have been
allowed- we could have made all Van
keedom weep at our ingress and egress in

M**«.b. Anothor various impediment to
«Vif fuller Micces* in Pennsylvania, wu-
the continuous wet weather we had to en
due-. Verily, it seemed as if tho whole
heavens were continually opened upon
us, mid, avoiding mostly the elegant turn-
pikos, we marched over muddy road* un-
paved and mudo nearly half leg deep in
mir® by our immense train in front, and
theroloro our traveling was difficult, flow
